CHARGERS: Floyd signs one-year deal to return to team

Chargers wide receiver Malcom Floyd signed a one-year,
second-round tender worth $1.54 million on Friday afternoon,
ensuring that he'll be an active participant in the team's
offseason program.

Floyd was the lone no-show for Chargers minicamp in early May,
hoping to reach a long-term deal that never materialized. Floyd
didn't want to miss any more time, so he signed the tender in time
to participate in the offseason coaching sessions, the first of
which begins on Monday morning.

"It was important for me to get in and get things rolling," said
Floyd, who has been working out independently, focusing on improved
quickness during this down time. "It didn't make any sense to stay
away any longer. Being away from minicamp drove me nuts. I missed
being with the team, and I can't wait to get going on Monday."

The 6-foot-5, 227-pounder, who had 27 catches for 465 yards and
four touchdowns last year, said he is completely recovered from the
lingering effects of a collapsed lung that hindered him late in the
season.

"I'm healthy and ready to go," Floyd said. "It shouldn't take
long to get my timing back."
